PG Alterique Gilbert (McDonald's All-American)

[TigerJ]

I don't think he is high on Memphis and from where the staff has been during evaluation period they seem to be after.
Marcus Lovett Jr. (2015)
Jaylen Fisher (#1 PG target for Memphis 2016)

I am confused at the balance on our roster. We have
Rick Tarrant Sr.
Kedren Johnson Sr.
Randle Broddie Fr.
Jeremiah Martin Fr.

We are targeting Marcus Lovett Jr. at PG for 2015. Jaylen Fisher is our #1 for 2016. We could have 5 so called PG on our team next year. Is that even normal?

That damned Shaka won't leave us alone.

 

[RipCity]

Shaka Smart will probably start pursuing KO's ex-wife next. Dude is always on our jock.

Maybe programs are starting to realize that UConn's talent assessment and scouting are better than the rest, judging by the performance of our guards in recent years. Now they let UConn do the dirty work of scoping out these under-ranked players and once we offer them they jump all over the kid.

That's too funny....

Atleast we were on him early ? *jordan shrug*

Yeah. That's probably what it is.

Have you ever had a positive tone or a post without sarcasm in your 3000+ posts here?

Not sure. Review them and let me know. Probably a couple.

Seriously, though, read your theory and tell me how it doesn't invite at least good-natured mockery.

I think you fail to realize the difference between online message board banter between like-minded fans and a "theory" that one would publish or write an article on..

Are you telling me no other programs have looked at a kid because another program has them on their radar?

Or it's because they have eyes.

How many eyes does a coaching staff have Fishy? You can only monitor so many kids across the country with limited time, personnel and funds. Sometimes it takes another programs investment in a kid to catch ones attention.

He's a top-50 player in their recruiting footprint. They were going to look at him regardless.

More than enough to notice a top 50 kid like Gilbert.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kid is UConn bound. You guys produce fantastic guards and him and Adams will be tough to contain.

Do you know this or just getting our hopes up?

It would have been sweet to get a dual commit with Shonn, but the staff has opened the door for other schools to pounce.

I know something about Fisher and UConn. It hasn't happened yet so will not talk about it because it's moot at this moment.

Recruiting is fluid but if Alterique comes to UConn hope Fisher goes to Memphis.

C'mon Tiger can't be throwing out jabs like that. Finish this reply doesn't matter if it's moot.

Funny, I know something about Fisher and Pastner. If you tell me, I will tell you. You go first.

That door was never closed to begin with
